This seemed to be going for Mortal Kombat type of live animation with the characters, when fighting though, it just doesn't work, having some of the worst fighting mechanics I've experienced in a beat 'em up. There are some good ideas here, where three different characters are placed at different parts in the game to work together to open/fix stuff, but the end result is a stiff boring game.
This game features about 80 well known scenes from films. Using the PS Eye, in most of the 'levels', the player is incorporated into those scenes and has to recite the famous lines. Some include: "I'll be back", "It's not a tumor!", "Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?", "Houston, we have a problem". Others scenes allow you to improvise along with some other things too. It's a bit of fun for a while, particularly in the movies you've seen, and with a mate, but the technology isn't quite good enough to make you really feel like you're in the scene and at times going through the menus takes more time than a scene lasts.

The science fair is on at Springfield Elementary and Bart goes into a VR experiment. From there you play 1 of 8 levels depending on where Bart finishes up on a spinning wheel. This is a plus because if you are stuck on a level, or just bored, you can just play another one. None of the levels are that fun though with a lot of the jumping needing to be perfect to complete the leaps throughout the awkwardly designed levels.
If you like your football free-flowing and attacking, this game is for you. Lots of chances and goals are a feature with through balls being very damaging and the AI are not afraid to give away penalties - I had 4 in one game.
3-3.5/5
This is roughly 70% third-person shooting and 30% jumping and climbing on walls. The shoot and cover system works well along with the platforming aspects, which might I say is a complete rip off of Prince of Persia games. In saying this, in the earlier POP games, it was easier to make a stupid mistake and jump the wrong way off a wall compared to this. The few puzzles in this are pretty lacklustre compared to similar games though and don't place any stress on the brain. It does what it does well with an interesting enough story and graphics that are pleasant on the eye, but I'll be interested to see if the sequels offer more originality.
